Btw John. I'm sure you won't have any problems, but I have a complete engine and lower 165 drive from a salvage part-out boat.

If you need anything that I can supply you with, it's yours for the asking ( and shipping, lol!)



Don't forget the WD-40 for winterizing!

My Dutch friend still wonders why that wouldn't work!

It is not a bad thing for recovering submerged engines (BTDT) but I
doubt it has the lubricating power to actually winterize. It might
handle the corrosion protection part but that spring start up might be
tough on the rings and bearings. You would still need to shoot some
50:1 in there with the lanyard out before you tried to fire it.
It is better to just use fogging oil although the E-tec just does it
with a rich gas/oil mix.

Are you talking two- or four-stroke? Remember, the last time we discussed oil you thought I had a
two-stroke.

I never got in that 2 stroke, 4 stroke "oil" thing. I just watched.

For the purposes of "winterizing" that is really more of a 2 stroke
thing since a 4 stroke has a sealed crank case. I have still heard of
shooting in fogging oil but I am not sure why. If you do anything, you
pull the plugs and squirt some oil in each cylinder, spin it over a
few times, reinstall the plugs and expect a smoky start.
More important is to drain the gas from the VST or carb bowls.
E-tec sells an auto winterizing feature that basically shuts down the
ignition, while it maxes out the oil injector and you get a dose of
very rich fuel while it is cranking down. (Basically like fogging
until it stalls)
That still does not address the fuel gelling in the system.
